I'm not understanding the link here. You knew it was filter and a map.... So... Why not just say that in the interview? Who cares about syntax? Were you not allowed to Google or talk to the interviewer? Some interview advice- view it more like you're coding with the other per

Many bootcamp grads don't know how to interview and go off what their instructors say who haven't worked in the industry themselves and who are confidently telling them what the company tells them to say. I've seen some brainwashed-like graduates who would defend their bootcamp to the bitter end because they trusted them so much.... until they worked for a few years and realized how full of shit the advice was.
